"In the early days of Henry VIII, a family inherits the sacred responsibility of guarding a priceless relic dubbed the Treasure of Tiberius. Protecting the treasure is at the front of everyone's mind, but nothing is as it seems. As scheming and treachery lead to the father's death, the mother hides in the lowlands while sending her three daughters, each with a portion of the map to the treasure, to distant locations in the Highlands and Islands. Unbeknownst to the girls, a prospective husband awaits at each point of shelter, but conflict and misunderstanding fly before the couples recognize their attraction. Will three young women and their highly respected mother be able to safeguard the treasure which remains a complete mystery to them? Will conflict-fraught attractions find solid ground?

SARAH WAS NO LADY..... — the moment she shamelessly appraised handsome Dr. Heath Ryan. His aura of raw power and rugged virility flung her unto a whirlpool of frightening yet wonderful emotions. He made her want to splash naked in the sparkling Pacific, to caress his muscled back, to hold him in a bed of sweetly scented flowers where he alone could rescue her from a tidal wave of unknown longing. HEATH WAS NO GENTLEMAN..... when his gaze raked Sarah's lustrous black hair, her exotic turquoise eyes, her thrusting breasts beneath white lace. His blazing desire made him forget she was just eighteen and he knew he would conquer the innocent girl. He would taste the honeyed nectar of her full lips against his own, and press the soft warmth of her body to his flesh in their tropical arbor of love, their fragrant... Jasmine Paradise.
